This invention is meant to be applied within the industrial sector that is dedicated to the production of machines, mechanical parts, and auxiliary parts for telecommunication and companies dedicated to the distribution and transformation of electric energy, as well as publicity companies.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

To the knowledge of the applicant, there is no existent urban transformation center configured along the characteristics mentioned in this report, and providing at the same time an external housing that offers a configuration similar to that of a double telephone cabin provided, in the zone adapted for physically handicapped people and as an alternative, instead of a phone adapted for their use, with an antivandalic computer touch screen, with the purpose to configure it as a multimedia information point.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The special urban transformation center, proposed in this invention, is clearly a novelty within its field of application, presenting a sturdy construction, which incorporates a multifunctional structure, containing an internal closet, and at the same time a multipurpose structure, with the possibility of being integrated into the urban street furniture, of reduced size and equipped with spaces for normalized advertising.

More specifically, the special urban transformation center, object of this invention, is built based on a vertical body, which in the upper part has a roof made of polyester reinforced with fiberglass, meant to result in a zenithal closure, adopting the form of a spherical skullcap, explicitly in an elliptical configuration.

At the major sides of the basic body of the special urban transformation center, the invention is equipped with sliding doors, with transparent, polycarbonate windows of normalized sizes, in order to permit the incorporation of vertical urban publicity. In the zone that corresponds to one of the sliding, opening doors, the invention has the possibility to fully open the door of the internal cabinet that is housed in the interior.

The parts that serve to illuminate the interior of the cabinet are situated in the interior of the mentioned sliding doors and the interior of those doors is also suited for refurbishing the advertisement.

The telephones, situated at the narrowest sides, are illuminated with zenithal lights, and are installed at a normalized height on one side, and on the opposite side at a height that permits its use by physically handicapped people, which alternatively can be equipped with an antivandalic computer touch screen, with the purpose to configure it as a public information point. Below both of these telephones there is a flat table space, to be used as support by the public user and serving as well as protection against the doors that give access to the space that holds the low voltage panel with a Kilowatt Hour meter and telecontrol panel and the base for the four pillars.

This invention is formed by a metallic structure, called internal cabinet, which has a prismatic form, and double walls of steel and vinyl ester, firmly resting on a floor made out of concrete.

The invention, which holds in its interior a transformer center of medium up to/or low voltage, consisting of a transformer, has the particular feature that the cited transformer is situated at a higher position than the base (situated below ground-level) with the goal to reserve this inferior space for possibly spilled oil, and which is resting on two “U”-shaped beams used as rails situated in such a way that the upper lid of the cited transformer at the end of the installation process is situated at ground-level.

The medium voltage switchgear, which rests upon the mentioned transformer, is supported by four rectangular corners, with two transverse bars, which coincide with the existing separation between the two entrances of the medium voltage cables, and the protected outlet of the transformer.

The internal closet is closed with a grill on the upper part to partially evacuate the heat that is generated by the transformer, incorporating some lifting bolts.

On one of its sides, the invention has a door, which can be used for inspection of, and operating in, the frontal zone of the medium voltage switchgear, as well as another opening to be used for connecting medium voltage cables, modifying the off-circuit tap changer, voltage switchboard, monitoring of levels and checking the transformer's temperature. The heat that is produced by the transformer is evacuated to the exterior through the four pillars that function like chimneys, leaving from the internal closet through a grill situated in the inferior parts (specifically in the faces of the fronts), and in the superior part of the cabinet, being transported to the outside through drill holes practiced in the lower part of the hood, getting the renewal and the inflow of air at an atmospheric temperature through an inferior perimetrical entrance located in the lower part of the doors that are used to carry publicity.

Summarizing, the invention can be used by a plurality of users that may vary from the owner, to a telephone company, citizens and passersby as well as by advertising companies that only have access to the advertising compartment.
